Testing details for all lenses in the tournament:
For sharpness Test:
Test scene lit with 2 LED lights for even lighting.
Exposure was set by taking an incident meter reading and the Nikon Z8 camera used for testing all lenses was set for manual exposure mode at 400 iso.
The camera was set for normal picture control and highest quality jpeg.
A custom white balance was set for each lens off of an 18% grey card.
The camera was mounted on a sturdy tripod and the focal plane was 8.5ft from the mannequin head. A remote release was used. Focus was on the left eye of the mannequin.
For the bokeh test:
The focal plane was 3.5ft from the basketball and the ball was 5ft from the background. A custom white balance was set for each lens off of an 18% grey card. Lighting was just one LED light to the left. An incident reading was taken from just in front of the basketball. Focus was on the L in Spalding.
